Chapter 751 Opening
"Haha! It turns out that my constant interest in "Abyss World" and self-studying various tutorials have paid off. My dears, I've been chosen!"
As the quota for the internal beta test of "World of Abyss" began to be distributed, the players who won the quota began to show off in various ways.
Previously, there were only 3,000 places available for the first closed beta test, more than 1,000 of which were for Starry Sky Cup players. Many of the rest were given by the world company to various anchors and people with connections. Only a few were able to be selected for the draw.
But this time, the number of places available is 600,000, which is a full 200 times more, so the number of participants in various shows will undoubtedly increase.
But everyone soon discovered that although 600,000 places seemed like a lot, and in order to ensure that the selected players had a certain foundation in the game, there were exams and tests, but the competition was still unexpectedly fierce!
"What? Are there usually so many players paying attention to it? I also studied on my own for a while, why don't I have it?"
"I even took some intensive tutoring and still didn't get it."
"No way, many games don't even have 600,000 monthly active users, so how come there are so few places for the internal beta test here?"
"The whole world is rushing to buy it. With the high welfare promotion of these Internet giants, it is normal for more than 1 billion to be snatched."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. This means it's even harder than being the top student in the grade in middle school."
“…”
As the number of places becomes smaller and smaller, qualified beta test players appear one after another, and the battle for players becomes more and more intense.
The first is the 'Abyss Mineral Company' which has already established a firm foothold in the Abyss.
As the founding trio, Okita, Qin Dashao, and Daboli started multiple rounds of financing. And because Abyss World is a game that is completely based on unique technology, there is no need to use other Internet platforms. There is no need to give too much face. It all depends on how much money and effort are put in!
Penguin, Ali, Kangaroo, Baidu, Weibo, all the well-known domestic Internet companies, except the World Company, have invested in the "Abyss Mineral Company".
Although the influx of investment led to continuous dilution of equity, the company was still firmly in the hands of the three founding members thanks to the framework of the agreement signed at the beginning.
And with this huge capital injection, we can recruit people more freely.
This is like a snowball. Originally, the Abyss Mineral Company had seized the initiative, and now after absorbing the power of capital without making any mistakes, it will only roll faster.
It is precisely because of this alliance among major domestic Internet companies that the "Abyss Mineral Company" is currently considered a unique force in the game.
In fact, we originally wanted to bring in World Company to join us.
As a global company that owns TT, its influence and financial resources are unquestionable with the help of this platform.
However, "Abyss World" was also jointly developed by world companies. They are already the ones who make the rules, so naturally they are too lazy to join in.
It’s not that World Company doesn’t care about money at all, but it’s easy to be touted as a big shot if it invests and joins as a producer, which is unnecessary.
As beta test players were selected one by one, World Corporation and Umbrella also released update previews for the new version.
“The new internal beta version will add new maps. At the same time, some adjustments have been made based on the collected player suggestions. The water surface texture and touch effects have been optimized, the weather effects have been optimized, and the taste experience effects have been developed to facilitate players to eat in the game…”
There are a lot of them, some of which are fictitious optimizations, while some are targeted "patches" for the Sefi world.
This is followed by some background information about the new version.
“…Abyss Lord Enzo and other nearby lords discovered that this area was anchored by a magical world. In order to explore more magical knowledge and magical resources, Enzo asked for the Abyss Magic Crystal and prepared to open the door to the other world with the help of Valhalla.
"In order to test the strength of the magic world, the heroes of the Hall of Heroes will use their immortal bodies to become the vanguard to explore. First, we need to build a base in the Warcraft Forest that can accommodate the heroes..."
Then there are some vague introductions to the world of Sefi, where many countries coexist and two gods rule the world.
However, as the two gods disappeared from the public eye for longer and longer, new chaos and wars began to break out in the originally peaceful countries.
The world introduction was completely something Wang Yi added on the spur of the moment.
It is really inspiring to see the big boss behind the scenes working overtime to write the copy .
It's enough to write a vague outline. It's just the background anyway. Wang Yi himself doesn't know the more detailed information. If he writes too much, it might be embarrassing if this town is too remote and some wrong information appears.
"Abyss World" started a 24-hour downtime maintenance and listed a list of dozens of updates.
However, it should be noted that in order to hide the identities of the heroes in the early stages, you must spend money to "modify your appearance .
The modification fee is not expensive. If the basic requirements are met, it only costs 100 credit points. However, it will be very ugly. If you want it to be beautiful, you will have to pay more.
It looks like an additional DLC pack for a free game, where new features require payment.
If it were an ordinary game, some people might curse, but "World of Abyss" rewards credit points on a daily basis, so no one will say much.
After all, this makes it more realistic and the game worthwhile!
"Did you see that? The concentration of magic in the Sephi Realm is not as high as that in the Abyss, so after the base is built, a hunger level option will be added in the future. You need to eat now."
"They've also added a new taste system for players. Wow, are they planning to sell gourmet food in the game?"
"Didn't we say that we would establish a base in the Monster Forest in the early stages? Without seasoning, there would be no delicious food."
"Too……"
"But you won't starve to death anyway, it will just reduce your attributes, so it doesn't matter."
"No, in reality, NPCs will have more options for selling seasonings, as well as artificial food and compressed food. The description says that they are shipped from Earth."
"Wow, another place to recycle credit points."
"Laugh! Umbrella is trying to save the credit points they sent out, so they even came up with this excuse. Instead of shipping seasonings, they should ship more modern weapons. What kind of magic world? Just flatten it."
"Games should be cyclical and progressive..."
“…”
The game was down for maintenance and the live broadcast was unavailable, so we could only watch some old recorded videos. Most of the time, we huddled together to discuss some of the changes after the game update.
It is truly unique for a game to involve such a hot topic and still remain popular for a long time.
Although the previous Resident Evil, Abyss Invasion, Spaceship Launch and Zerg still retain their popularity, they are just mixed in the game.
To put it bluntly, there is no point for ordinary people to care about bugs or something. There is no point for them to worry about this thing.
Moreover, external pressure will make many people want to get into the game and indulge themselves in it.
As the maintenance period came to an end, most of the internal test players who had received the helmets and the first batch of closed beta players also chose to enter the game as soon as possible...
